Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a support assembly for a spare wheel of a vehicle, in particular of an industrial vehicle.
  • Support assemblies for a spare wheel which substantially comprise an attachment bracket fixed to a frame of the vehicle and a support, generally a rectangular plate, designed to be mounted on the wheel and to be releasably connected to the bracket itself by means of a plurality of bolts in a first operative position, in which the bracket and the support keep the wheel raised from the ground.
  • the aforementioned support assemblies further comprise an actuating device, generally formed by a winch, which can be actuated selectively and following the release of the bolts so as to displace the support, and therefore the spare wheel, with respect to the bracket between the first operative position and a second operative position, in which the spare wheel rests on the ground.
  • an actuating device generally formed by a winch, which can be actuated selectively and following the release of the bolts so as to displace the support, and therefore the spare wheel, with respect to the bracket between the first operative position and a second operative position, in which the spare wheel rests on the ground.
  • the above-described support assemblies have the disadvantage of being relatively complicated and expensive, particularly because the winch generally requires the provision of a gear-type transmission which is disposed upstream of the winch itself and which is adapted to reduce accordingly the effort of raising the spare wheel (which in the case of commercial vehicles may weigh more than 100 kg).
  • the object of the present invention is to devise a support assembly for a spare wheel of a vehicle, which makes it possible to obviate the disadvantages associated with the above-mentioned known assemblies.
  • a support assembly for a spare wheel of a vehicle in particular a commercial vehicle, of the type comprising a support designed to be mounted on the wheel, releasable connecting means for connecting said support to attachment means for a frame of said vehicle in a first operative position, in which said attachment means and said support keep said wheel raised from the ground, and actuator means which can be actuated selectively and following the release of said connecting means so as to displace the support with respect to said attachment means between said first operative position and a second operative position, in which said spare wheel rests on the ground, characterised in that said actuator means comprise a screw-nut device interposed between said support and said attachment means.
  • the reference numeral 1 generally denotes a support assembly for a spare wheel 2 of a commercial vehicle (not shown), said spare wheel having an axis A.
  • the assembly 1 essentially comprises an attachment bracket 3 which is substantially L-shaped in side view and which is securely connected to a side member 4 of a frame 5 of the vehicle, a substantially rectangular support plate 6 adapted to be mounted from the inside on a rim 7 of the horizontally arranged wheel 2, i.e.
  • the bracket 3 comprises a first plate-shaped portion 14, which secured to the side member 4 by means of a plurality of bolts 15, and a second portion 16 which is also plate-shaped and extends orthogonally projecting from the portion 14 towards the exterior of the vehicle and adapted to enable the wheel 2 to be secured with its axis A orthogonal to the portion 16 itself.
  • the plate 6 is adapted to be secured below and parallel to the portion 16 of the bracket 3, with the interposition of a lateral portion of the rim 7 of the wheel 2 on which the plate 6 itself is mounted.
  • the actuating device 10 is a screw and nut which can be separated from the bracket 3 and from the plate 6 and comprising a screw 17 and a nut 18 mounted on a shank 19 of the screw 17 itself.
  • the screw 17 can be installed from above in an axially withdrawable manner on the portion 16 of the bracket 3 through a slot 20 passing through the portion 16 itself and is provided, on the shank 19 and in the vicinity of a head 21 thereof, with a circular washer 22 adapted to abut from above, i.e. on the opposite side with respect to the plate 6, against a lateral edge of the slot 20.
  • the slot 20 has an intermediate circular portion 23 of enlarged section so as to allow the nut 18 to pass with clearance through the portion 16 of the bracket 3 and opposing straight lateral portions 24,25 of constant transverse dimensions smaller than the diameter of the intermediate portion 23 and directed towards the portion 14 of the bracket 3 and, respectively, towards a free end of the portion 16 of the bracket 3 itself; more precisely, the intermediate portion 23 is of smaller diameter than the diameter of the washer 22.
  • the slot 20 With reference to the first operative position of the plate 6, i.e. to the securing position of the wheel 2 between the plate 6 itself and the bracket 3, the slot 20 has one end 26 disposed in the vicinity of the axis A of the wheel 2 and it extends from the end 26 itself towards the free end of the portion 16.
  • the nut 18 is substantially in the shape of a square-based pyramidal frustum, is of increasing section starting from an upper end facing towards the head 21 of the screw 17 and, on the opposite side, it ends in a lower circular portion 27.
  • the plate 6 is also provided with a through-slot 28 adapted to be engaged by the nut 18.
  • the slot 28 ( Figure 1) has a pair of circular end portions 29 of enlarged section to enable the nut 18 to pass with clearance, and a central portion 30 of square section adapted to be coupled with an intermediate portion 36 of the nut 18 ( Figure 4) so as to render the nut 18 itself angularly secured to the plate 6. More precisely, the circular portion 27 of the nut 18 is of larger diameter with respect to the side of the section of the central portion 30, the lateral edge of which thus defines at the bottom, i.e. on the opposite side with respect to the bracket 3, an abutment for the circular portion 27 itself.
  • the slot 28 also has a pair of straight intermediate portions 31 which are interposed between the central portion 30 and the respective end portions 29 and which are of reduced cross-sectional size with respect to the transverse dimensions of the sections of the portions 29 and 30 so as to allow sliding engagement only of the shank 19 of the screw 17.
  • the slot 28 With reference to the first operative position of the plate 6, i.e. to the securing position of the wheel 2 between the plate 6 itself and the bracket 3, the slot 28 has one end of the portions 29 in alignment with the intermediate portion 23 of the slot 20 and the central portion 30 disposed coaxial to the axis A of the wheel 2.
  • the slot 28 is of symmetrical form with respect to a plane orthogonal to the plate 6 and passing through the axis A of the wheel 2. This symmetrical form makes it possible to facilitate the mounting of the plate 6 on the wheel 2, it making no difference how the plate 6 itself is oriented in a longitudinal direction with respect to the slot 28.
  • each bolt 8 comprises a nut 32 protruding from and integral with an associated apex portion of the plate 6 and adapted to engage in operation in an associated through-hole 33 provided in the rim 7 of the wheel 2, and a screw 34 fitted through a through-hole 35 in the portion 16 of the bracket 3 and adapted to be connected with the nut 32 itself so as to define the first operative position of the plate 6.
  • the plate 6 is disposed in its first operative position and is securely connected to the bracket 3 by means of the bolts 8 and the wheel 2 is held between the plate 6 and the bracket 3 in a horizontal position raised from the ground, i.e. with its axis A orthogonal to the ground itself.
  • the device 10 is inserted from above through the intermediate and end portions 23 and 29 of the respective slots 20,28, each of which is positioned in registration with the other, until the nut 18 is disposed below the plate 6.
  • the wheel 2 which is resting on the ground in a horizontal position, is disposed below the portion 16 of the bracket 3 in such way that as far as possible it is in alignment with the slot 20 and the plate 6 is inserted inside the rim 7.
  • the device 10 which has the nut 18 suitably positioned level with one end of the shank 19 of the screw 17 opposite the head 21, is inserted through the intermediate and end portions 23 and 29 of the respective slots 20,28 until the nut 18 is disposed below the plate 6.
  • the translation of the plate 6 ends when the rim 7 of the wheel 2 is arranged to abut against the portion 16 of the bracket 3 (first operative position of the plate 6).
  • the screws 34 are fitted into the respective nuts 32 of the plate 6 and it is possible to proceed with the removal of the device 10.
  • the nut 18 is locked in abutment against the central portion 30 of the slot 28 of the plate 6, and by continuing to act on the screw 17 in the same direction, the translation upwards of the screw 17 itself with respect to the nut 18 is obtained.
  • the washer 22 is moved upwards to a sufficient extent from the portion 16 of the bracket 3, the screw 17 can be pushed downwards so to induce the disengagement of the nut 18 from the central portion 30 of the slot 28 and moved along the lateral and intermediate portions 24 and 31 of the respective slots 20,28 until reaching the intermediate and end portions 23 and 29, through which the device 10 can be removed by pulling it upwards.
  • the device 10 could also be left permanently in the operative position. If this solution is chosen, the device 10 could preferably be made of a material not subject to oxidation and, moreover, the pitch of the screw 10 itself could be chosen to be sufficiently wide so that any dirt accumulating during normal use of the vehicle could easily be eliminated during the actuation of the plate 6 when changing the spare wheel.
  • the support assembly 1 is particular simple and economical since it comprises a relatively low number of components, in this case the plate 6, the screw and nut device 10 and the bolts 8.
